AI underwriting intake for acquisitions teams
AI underwriting intake extracts T12s, rent rolls, and OMs into your underwriting model's format automatically, mapped to your chart of accounts with one-time items flagged instead of silently rolled in.
Three weeks of underwriting becomes three hours of decision making. The lift is not the spreadsheet. It is everything around it: the reading, the mapping, the normalizing, and the flagging.
What does AI underwriting intake actually do?
It takes the broker package as it arrives, in whatever shape it arrives, and produces your model's inputs: T12 mapped to your chart of accounts, rent roll normalized, one-time expenses and below-the-line items flagged, and assumptions pre-filled from your house view. The analyst starts at judgment instead of data entry.
Why does mapping to our chart of accounts matter?
Because every shop's definition of controllable expenses, management fees, and reserves differs, and a model fed with someone else's categories produces confident nonsense. The mapping layer is where an intake workflow earns its keep, and it is the part generic tools skip.
How much deal flow does this unlock?
Screening capacity stops being the constraint. Teams that could seriously underwrite three deals a week can screen every credible package that hits the inbox and spend analyst hours only on deals that survive the first pass.
I sat in IC reviewing models built from three weeks of analyst nights. The judgment in that room was the value. The three weeks was overhead.

Common questions.
What formats does it read?
PDF OMs, scanned T12s, Excel rent rolls, and the inconsistent broker packages in between.
Does it plug into our model?
Yes. Output lands in your Excel or platform template, not a proprietary viewer.
How are one-time items handled?
Flagged and listed with sources, so the analyst decides what normalizes out. Nothing is silently adjusted.
What about data room documents post-LOI?
The same pipeline abstracts leases, contracts, and loan docs during diligence.
